Kituyi spoke at an Azimio rally in Trans Nzoia County on Friday, July 22.

Former UNCTAD secretary general Mukhisa Kituyi has claimed that he agreed with some church elders to curse the family of Deputy President William Ruto.

Speaking at an Azimio rally in Trans Nzoia County on Friday, Kituyi said that the move was because the DP insulted Defence CS Eugene Wamalwa.

Kituyi claimed that CS Wamalwa was his younger brother as he knew him since his childhood and there was no way a person could insult him in such a way.

“Eugene Wamalwa ni ndugu yangu mdogo. Mimi nimemjua kutoka utotoni. Kupata mtu kutoka sehemu ingine kuja kumtusi kwa njia hiyo… Jana tulikubaliana na wazee wa dini kutoka Kapenguria watapeleka laana kwa familia ya Ruto,” Kituyi told a charged crowd.

Ruto in a previous rally equated Wamalwa the CS claimed that the Deputy President almost slapped him at a past incident in 2018.

The DP asked the supporters in the rally to tell Wamalwa that where he comes from they do not beat women as they respect them.

“Nimesikia jamaa mwingine nilimpatia kazi ya uwaziri. Anatoka huku kwenu. Ati anasema mimi nilkuwa nataka kumchapa kofi. Mimi nataka nimwambie huyo jamaa huko kwetu hatuchapi kofi wanawake. Mumuambie hivo,” Ruto said.

On July 9, Wamalwa said Ruto nearly slapped him in 2018 when he led a delegation from Western Kenya to State House to meet President Uhuru Kenyatta without his notice.
